[KyleJepson]

Connecting with leads can be hard. Even when people are interested in your product, they're often busy or have competing priorities. How do you get to that first conversation with a lead? Share your tips and tricks in the comments below!

I can connect with leads from exploring their needs and interest, this leads me to be able to provide advised solutions.

Providingthem valuable information until they respond positively, then book an exploratory call.

You can by identifying of there is a common connection. This is likely going to be someone they might be interested to talk about and from here you can link what you can offer to their potential needs. Always considering to be human, helpful and holistic.

Second identify who they are, when they are likely to be available for a call and hear from them. It is important to learn about them before since it iwll be easy to connect and potentially to help them in the near future if they realize you are interested in them.

Email, call and social media.

[MMcHale]

I will try and find their phone number.  Once I have done that, I will call.  Whether I reach them directly or get their voicemail, I will keep it brief; who I am, something of their's that triggered my interest, why I am calling, and that we may be able to add value.  I will then follow up with an email the next day.

Hi again!

Through LinkedIn posts, I search for users who are searching for a job. Usually, they post their resumes and share their job search strategies. To get more info, I connect with them and ask questions regarding their job search strategies. Based on queries, some of them require resume remake and others require LinkedIn job search techniques. 
Even some prospects contact me to make their resumes, but by asking them questions, they might not require a resume writer.
